About us

A significant health kick start and detoxification journey. Education is intensified during this retreat to ensure you leave with the knowledge you need to make positive lifestyle changes at home. Leave feeling pampered, refreshed, and fabulous. We will give you all the tools you need to take away to empower you to achieve your goals.

For ladies who don’t have three weeks to invest into our Three Week Life-Changer, the Ten Day Intensive will immerse you fully into a healthy lifestyle and highlight the differences between your lifestyle choices at home and those of a healthy lifestyle through educational workshops. Daily yoga and fitness sessions along with healthy and nutritious meals will ensure you get the most out of your ten days with us and get a good start towards achieving your health goals.

Post-retreat support will enable you to continue to implement what was learnt on the Retreat, at home.

Venue and Teachers

After Resolution Retreats’ founder Joelene Ranby tackled her own weight and health issues, she wanted to share what she had learned and the passions which she had developed to help others.Running life-changing retreats for women who needed help to re-assess how they approached healthy living, started out as a hobby in her spare time and has developed into something much bigger, now helping hundreds of women each year achieve their wellness goals.She based the retreats on the things which would have helped to educate, inspire and motivate her during her own journey. “I needed Resolution Retreats 10 years ago. I believe it would have made my journey a lot easier. Our people are what makes our retreats special. We are real women too, we understand.

For fun, you will find Joelene conjuring up delicious food for herself and others at her Pukehina Beach home. “I cook food that is healthy and will inspire your taste buds and make you excited to get into the kitchen yourself” says Joelene. “I live by the 80/20 rule and eat clean most of the time, but I’m by no means perfect and I think that’s something our ladies can relate to”. Joelene is a Chartered Accountant, and has worked in several senior finance positions with large New Zealand companies, so can relate to the stress which many retreat guests are put under. “Many of the women who need our help know they should be taking better care of themselves, but finding time to fit that in too amongst everything else they have to get done … it just keeps getting pushed down the list” says Joelene. “That’s where coming on a Resolution Retreat can really help.
